tween the survivors of the Army OF the Cumber-
land and their former foes upon the battlefield and
while the Union General and the peoples Presi-
dent awaited burial, the common grief of these
magnanimOus soldiers and mourning citizens found
expression in the determination to erect ths tribute
to American greatness; and thus to-day. in its
symmetry and beauty, 1t presents "a sign OF ami
mOsites forgotten, emblem Of - brotherhood

fame and distinction in our halls Of legislation, and
the highest honor and dignity in the Chief Alagis-
tracy of the Nation.

GEN. BLACKS GRACEFUL DEcLINArIoN.

Gov. Curtin was the last speaker on the pro-
gram. but the audience called for Gen. Black,
and Gen Sheridan called him forward from his
seat on the platform. "No," said he to Gen.
Sheridan, " would have come once when you
called, but am out Of service now. / am not
here tonight TO make a speech. He then in a
few well-chosen remarks thanked the audience
aud the Army of the Cumberland for having
called upon him.
